Cool, calm, collected
And strapped to your seat
Flight, this is ground control
We are all systems go
This is the moment you've been waiting for
Space shuttle flight number 122

Lift off
All engines running

G forces pin your body down against your seat
Your heartbeat shooting up and pounding ever faster
You're traveling closer to the speed of sound
Outside the windows you can see the sky is getting darker

I never thought I'd live long enough to see
Anything, anything so beautiful

And just about the time you were thinkin' out loud
A warning light comes flashing, and then another and another
A series of loud bangs is felt throughout the cabin
Something's gone wrong....
Something's not right....

Don't touch me....
OK....

Flight, this is ground control.
....I think we've had a major malfunction.....
